How to Reach Family Members

Emergency Communications

WWRC uses an Emergency Alert System, commonly knows as SARA (Situation Awareness and Response Assistant), to alert clients, staff, families, visitors, and community partners in the event of an emergency affecting its campus and to provide routine updates regarding the status of the emergency situation. Learn more about Emergency Communications.

At a minimum, this web site meets Section 508 and at least Level A Conformance to WCAG 1.0. On January 18, 2017, the U.S. Access Board published a final rule as the new standard for website accessibility. The rule requires adherence to the new accessibility standards twelve months from its date of publication. WWRC is working towards WCAG 2.0 Level AA compliance.

The goals of the WWRC accessibility plan are:

- All new content posted on this website after January 18, 2018, will meet W3C’s WCAG 2.0 Level AA compliance.

- All content posted prior to January 18, 2018, will be remediated to meet W3C’s WCAG 2.0 Level AA compliance as soon as possible.
